CH 63

According to Ai Qing's knowledge, the relationship between the Yin family and the Huai family can be traced back to eighty years ago.

At that time, Huai Shi's great-grandfather, as a rare fourth-order Sublimator, obtained a large amount of assets from the vast border and retired after achieving success.

At that time, he could be said to have provided a lot of help to the declining Yin family to help them make a comeback.

But with the death of Huai Shi's great-grandfather, the following Yin family began to rise again, while the Huai family never gave birth to another Sublimator and gradually declined.

In the end, when the Huai family needed funds the most, the Yin family chose to kick them while they were down, causing the Huai family to completely collapse.

With the death of Huai Shi's grandfather and his parents disappearing with a large amount of assets, this was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

This process could be written into an 800,000-word novel, and it's hard to believe that there wasn't anything shady going on behind the scenes.

It was a grand feast created by all parties involved, with the Yin family eating the meat and the Qi family drinking the soup, and in the end, only Huai Shi was left as a fig leaf.

You see, it's not that I'm not loyal to old friends, it's just normal business competition, it's just that your family's descendants are too outrageous.

Looking at our past relationship, I'll leave you with a little something, isn't that showing some goodwill?

Now you can't say I'm being too harsh, can you?

Having obtained actual benefits, preserved the face of the Yin family, and having an explanation for the departed old friend, it's a win-win situation, isn't it?

But Qi Wen, that old dog, wanting to break free from the Yin family's shackles after being promoted is another matter altogether.

For years, Qi Wen has acted as a protector of the returning people, quietly hiding all the actions of the Savior Society, rapidly searching for benefits, and quietly growing in strength, almost becoming a force to be reckoned with.

Even the Yin family cannot easily strike at him, but instead must put on a smiling face and welcome back this once loyal dog.

Now, that old man's mood must be wonderful, right?

Despite the anger and gloom in her heart, Ai Qing couldn't help but maliciously speculate that the smile on that face covered in age spots must look terrible.

But then, her mood became heavy again.

How should she tell Huai Shi this bad news?

Right now, Huai Shi is watching two people argue.In the basement of the detective agency of the second-hand dealer, as soon as he entered, Huai Shi heard the detective sighing, "If you ask me, those Guijing people are up to something big, and it's not just going to be bad for the Xinhai!"

"Shut up, damn it!" Liu Dongli was angry as soon as he heard it, "Can you stop guessing? With your crow's mouth, even if it's not, you have to make it seem like it is!"

"Nonsense, I call it reasonable speculation!"

The detective sneered, "Do you believe I can write a 100,000-word thesis to prove it to you?"

"You can write it! Your ability restriction order hasn't expired yet. Aren't you afraid of the astronomical forces using the Rainbow Bridge to airdrop a group of defenders to kill you?"

"I can't write about what the Guijing people are up to, and I can't write about you being finished either!"

"When I'm finished one day, I'll definitely sell you first!"

While Huai Shi was stunned, the two had already started fighting. It should be said that the detective was beaten up. Soon, he was begging for mercy with a swollen face.

Liu Dongli was used to this guy's mouth and stopped arguing with him.

Only Huai Shi couldn't believe the arrangement of the basement.

"Amazing."

He looked at the various guns and grenades hanging on the wall, "Do you sell these things too?"

"If I dare to sell, I would have been taken down by the Special Affairs Bureau. How can I still be sitting here talking to you?" The detective rolled his eyes, "These are all tools used by certain people to commit crimes."

"Get out of here, I call it maintaining public order."

Liu Dongli was sitting in a chair, unwrapping his bandages and pouring medicine on his wounds. After he took off his shirt, his wounds looked scary. Under the irrigation of the medicine, those wounds that looked like a child's mouth quickly closed. After a night of recuperation, they didn't look too terrible anymore.

After finally letting out a sigh of relief, he put on his clothes and looked at Huai Shi seriously.

"You must have a lot of questions to ask now."

"Uh..."

Huai Shi was silent for a long time, scratching his head awkwardly, "Actually, I understand most of what I should understand, and there's nothing much to ask. If I have to say something, I hope the astronomical forces can clean up the Guijing people as soon as possible."

"They've already started cleaning up."

Liu Dongli looked uneasy, "But the problem is that it's not just Xinhai that's facing this problem."

"Hmm?"

"I got the news from the internal action department last night.""He sighed helplessly: 'The place where the Guijing people were found in the entire coastal area of Dongxia, including Xin Hai, has exceeded six cities. Even their fishing boats are wandering on the sea. I think they might be planning something big this time, so they are concentrating their forces so hastily.

In fact, the border hunters in the entire Jinling area have already begun emergency mobilization, but Dongxia has stubbornly refused the intervention of the Astronomy Association. In the end, the power of the Social Security Bureau may be used.

Ah, the Social Security Bureau is the department that manages the Sublimators in Dongxia, although the name is similar to another place, it is actually a separate secret department. You may often deal with them in the future, and you may get used to it then.'

Huai Shi was silent for a long time, nodded blankly, and noticed Lius Dongli's helpless expression. He squeezed out a smile: 'Sorry, I didn't sleep well last night.'

'Normal, encountering such a scene, no one can sleep well.'

Lius Dongli comforted him as if he had not noticed anything, and put a cup of hot tea in front of him: 'Drink more hot water for good health. Dealing with things for the Astronomy Association, it is inevitable to deal with such things.'

He deliberately avoided the scene where Huai Shi lost control last night. Although he could feel that Huai Shi was hiding something, Lius Dongli did not intend to delve into it. No one is born with divine power, just as no one is perfect. Everyone will encounter bad things. Asking too many questions will not solve any problems, but will only make people annoying.

But he always felt that Huai Shi was different. Not like the boy in the past, nor like the demon he saw last night. Obviously, he looked like he hadn't woken up, but he gave people the feeling that he had finally been freed from a long dream and could return to the world. Something was injected into that smiling shell, making him different from before.

While Lius Dongli was thinking about it uneasily, he suddenly heard a bang in front of him and saw Huai Shi patting his knees, standing up suddenly, and his expression became panicked: 'Oh my god!'

'What's wrong?' He raised his eyebrows in surprise.

'I just remembered-'

Huai Shi slowly turned his head, his expression nervous: 'I think I didn't practice the piano today!'

'...'

Lius Dongli rolled his eyes and didn't want to talk anymore. This guy will only be a fool for his whole life if he is left alone!

After confirming that Lius Dongli's injury was okay, Huai Shi prepared to leave and was also instructed by Lius Dongli not to reveal his whereabouts. He was afraid that this guy would still plan to do some investigation."Although Huai Shi had the intention to learn more, he had to go to report to Ai Qing this afternoon and didn't have time.

But just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Liu Dongli.

"Um, Huai Shi..."

In the end, Liu Dongli couldn't help but worry, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Huai Shi turned around, waved and smiled at him, "Don't worry, just like you said, I have to learn to accept it, right?"

Liu Dongli was stunned.

The door closed, and the footsteps of the young man gradually faded away.

"How did he leave?"

The detective who had just rummaged through his boxes and drawers to get the inventory list ready for sales looked at the direction the young man had left in astonishment for a long time before shaking his head and sighing, "Wow, why does your little brother seem to have a feeling of never coming back?"

Liu Dongli sighed helplessly.

Immediately, he turned around and punched him hard.

"Can you shut up, Crow?"

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a light rain began to fall from the sky.

The rainy season was about to begin.

Fortunately, Huai Shi acted quickly and rang Ai Qing's doorbell before the rain soaked him.

Since the official members of the local astronomical society had only been her for a long time, there was no need to go to any office building to set up an office. The office was simply set up in the study on the second floor of her house.

According to Huai Shi's own estimation of others, he even suspected that Ai Qing might have pocketed the venue rental fee sent from above.

It was really enviable...

After arriving outside the door, looking at the delicate small garden and the single-family villa behind the fence, Huai Shi couldn't help but feel anxious- they were all houses, so why did his own house look so poor?

Sure enough, he still needed to sell some more powder and find someone to paint the exterior wall.

Or maybe buy some new furniture?

He pondered, and was led by Ai Qing's maid to the study on the second floor.

"Miss is waiting for you."

She opened the door and gestured for Huai Shi to come in.

Ai Qing's study was extremely simple.

There were no bookshelves, no elegant hanging paintings or potted plants, only a desk and a chair prepared for guests.

Ai Qing seemed to be writing something on her computer, with a slightly furrowed brow, not noticing Huai Shi coming in. It wasn't until the maid brought up the tea and reminded her quietly that she came back to her senses.

"Sorry, I'm submitting a report on some outstanding issues from my previous position."

She rubbed her forehead in distress, looked up at Huai Shi, and was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong with you?"

"Me? I'm fine."

Huai Shi smiled blankly, scratching his head, "Maybe I didn't sleep well?"Ai Qing looked at Huai Shi strangely for a long time, seeming to accept his explanation, but she didn't speak, and instead looked as if she didn't know what to say.

"Is anything wrong?" Huai Shi asked.

"No, nothing!"

Ai Qing shook her head in denial, took a deep breath, and sighed deeply, looking unusually flustered, "Right, I called you over for something, what was it?"

"Uh..." Huai Shi was not quite sure, "I remember you said it was a delivery?"

"Yes, a delivery."

Ai Qing rubbed her brow, and after a while, she suddenly said, "I must have remembered it wrong. I meant to say that the reward for the Red Gloves has been sent."

"Huh?" Huai Shi was puzzled.

"People from Green Day usually have rewards posted in the Astronomical Society and various countries. Although most of them are similar to headhunting bonuses, if you save up, it's quite a lot.

A total of 3.47 million US dollars will be transferred to your account later."

"Ah?"

After being stunned for a long time, Huai Shi finally reacted. Hearing that more than 3 million US dollars had fallen from the sky, it was like finding a diamond-studded gold pillow when feeling sleepy. He was overjoyed and excitedly blurted out, "Oh! Oh! Thank you!"

Ai Qing was silent for a long time, glancing at the box under the table, her expression becoming somewhat complicated. In the end, she didn't take it out.

"Congratulations," she said, "From now on, you won't have to risk your life for money anymore."
